JUST IGNORE!
the link you've received is just a pishing attempt and if you say that this mail was came from bitify's official mail, then someone might snoofed their mail. (there are plenty of free services were available to do like this, just google)
Topic: Private message Phishing in Bitify? (Read 672 times)
I got an email from bitify last february 1 warning users to beware of the phishing attempt with the site www.bitifiy.com. Didn't know it started here on bitcointalk 
People should be aware of that phishing site, the original was www.bitify.com , without a letter "i" between "f" and "y". Good thing that phishing site was not working atm.

Yep it was reported fairly quickly and the user on the site was banned/ IP blocked. We also issued an email/PM to all of our users warning them of the scam.
It's not clear what the phishing site would actually achieve though, as even if they gained your Bitify username/password there is very little they can do without also having access to your email (bitcoin/litecoin address change requires email confirmation).

Probably phishing, just erase and always make check the address of the website you try to access.
Some sites support are notoriously absent on Sundays. I suspect that is why the scammer did this on a Sunday
Yap it is a phishing effort, I have check my other emails and so surprised to see the same emails from the scammer.

And the website is down.Nice,Bitify handled the phishing scam faster .Its quite common nowadays for hackers to open phishing site to scam users.You should see blockchain.info phishing page.
Funny, the the phishing PM is removed from my Bitify messages, but they never sent me the warning letter to change passwords or whatever if you clicked through on link. I suppose it was likely because I forwarded it to them through support. I am not really sure what someone could do if they gained access to ones account short of messing around and ruining reputations or releasing escrows to strangers.
I learned on this forum itself that hackers are able to send emails which looks like they came from original accounts, which is why it is recommended to not click on links sent in email and if you must just copy paste and check the domain name if it is the original one or not.
Received this PM today from user named "bitifyAdmin" , whose username was created yesterday. If anyone has personal contact info for management please pass along.
